While we were staying at the Outer Banks we took a day trip up to Kitty Hawk, NC.
The Wright Brothers National Memorial is there. This is where Orville and Wilbur Wright completed their first successful flight on December 17, 1903. We were able to stand on the actual spot where the plane was plus see a replica of the plane. The kids flew kites and became Junior Flight Rangers!
After we left Kitty Hawk we went to Fort Raleigh on Ronoak Island. We learned a little about "The Lost Colony" and the kids worked for another Junior Ranger badge. The National Parks Service awards them to kids who complete questions about the park and attend Ranger classes. The kids have earned 3 so far and are excited about getting more. It is a great way to learn about the area and a nice souvenir as well.
